Some other notes about linking into the Dissertations:
-
The title needs to be URL escaped.
-
Punctuation does matter so there will need to be a comma between the last name and first as well as appropriate periods in the degree.
We recommend removing all punctuation characters from titles for best results. -
Al l the Meta-Data except for the ISBN is AND’ed together. If any one piece doesn’t match the index record in our system, the OpenURL will retrieve no results.
If a peice of Meta-Data is not known to be valid, leave it out. This may result in some extra results to look through, but it will prevent getting a flase "No Results Matched". -
If the au tag is populated then the other author sub-tags are ignored
-
ISBN, if present, is OR’ed with the rest of the Meta-Data
